SharePoint: Add a Recycle Bin to Windows SharePoint Services for Easy Document Recovery -- MSDN Magazine, February 2005

SharePoint: Add a Recycle Bin to Windows SharePoint Services for Easy Document Recovery -- MSDN Magazine, February 2005: "In this article, we'll take advantage of the extensibility of WSS and both its server-side and client-side object models to build a restore feature that works like the Recycle Bin in Windows Explorer. We'll examine WSS document library server-side events and will develop a .NET event handler class for asynchronous server-side processing of those events. In the end, you'll have a working recycle bin for document libraries. Additionally, the lessons learned will help you write your own custom workflow applications based on the WSS document library event model." EROL MVP SPS www.mysps.info & www.clubsps.org

SharePoint uses Cascading Style Sheets to control the "look and feel" of the Portal and Team Sites. Sure you can spend a few hours modifying the CSS files by hand, but wouldn't it be nice if there was a GUI that allowed you to see the changes you were making? This is where SPSkin can be used to quickly and easily generate the style sheets for your Portal and Team Sites. This product is currently in Beta. See the Beta.
